Dan, thank you, appreciated.

I had the German FAG bearings checked by two people, both been working on vehicals for over 40 years. One does it as a side job restoring Mustangs. Both agreed since roll free, no loss of plating and no scuffs/scratches good to go. That's why even considered. If there was any doubt, just wait.

Besides, doubt now with the pace of things and funds, that the driveline be in by the new year. Big thing is need an angle torque guage that forgot about and didn't purchase months ago. Life happens while making plans and we just have to be flexible.
